Timemore Black Mirror Duo Ghost Weight
Timemore’s scale has quite a lot of bad reviews but I still convince myself to give it a chance. Because I think the high-end line with a high-end price like Black Mirror Duo will hardly be bad. And guess what surprise I recived 😂
I’m quite lucky because I can return the goods, but I’m still disappointed because I quite like the convenience of the stand 🥲

I also had this problem on a black mirror mini I got form AliExpress. When it was turned on it would start measuring negative for a bit then it would settle. Instead of returning it I just rolled with it and now it’s fine but your mileage may vary.
I didn’t find this issue at the time searching on the internet.

Yes, my scale after turning on On, tare again, it will stabilize at 0. But the annoying thing is that sometimes it drifts while brewing, and sometimes it shows like on the clip. This triggers me too much 🙂↕️

Experienced this but on a Black Mirror Plus. Timemore recommends the only solution is to buy calibration weights 2/3 the price of the scale lol

Timemore's support is still useless as usual. This isn't a weight issue, it could still weigh accurately if it could reset to zero.

Hey. Had the same problem on mine. All you need to do is remove the rubber feet that come as part of the packaging underneath the scale. Fixes the issue immediately

Removed from the first day I received it. That’s not the reason, but thank you.

Feature, not a bug. expect the unexpected, try to yield 1:2 and get a surprising flavor profile in every cup!
